NAB AFL Auskick participants are selected from the State/Territory where the games are being held.
Your centre coordinator will receive communication from the venue managers of the venue who are hosting the match. This will include all information including: meeting time, location, what to wear and bring, ticket allocation and much more
Unfortunately, due to a large number of registered NAB AFL Auskickers, not all participants get to play at half time. We recommend touching base with your centre coordinator or Regional AFL staff member for further information.
The NAB AFL Auskick half time games are not filmed, the images that are shown on TV are owned by the station that is showing the game (Channel 7 or Fox Footy). The best thing to do to obtain a copy would be to get in contact with the TV station that showed the game. Unfortunately, we do not take photographs of children participating at half time
NAB AFL Auskick participants are chosen through centre coordinators in each State and Territory (where game is being played) who put in an expression of interest to play.
We have two groups that play on Grand Final Day: the 22 NAB AFL Auskickers of the Year and 48 participants from the Victorian NAB AFL Auskick Volunteer of the Year. For your chance to be one of the 22 NAB AFL Auskickers of the Year enter the competition here.
